Is it worth doing business with the US?

Many companies are saying it most certainly isn't, as this article from the Independent reports:

And it is not just Far East and Middle East companies that might be tempted to disengage with the US.
"Any businessman with any connection with the US, however tenuous, should think very carefully about the potential peril they face. Right here, right now, I would not advise even to engage in a business relationship with the US."
These were the warning words of a British man, David Bermingham - one of the "NatWest Three" bankers who lost their appeal last week against extradition to the US to face trial for Enron-related fraud.
